The rainy and dreary weather was forgotten on Thursday as members of Rest-a-While Service Centre for the Elderly came together to celebrate the festive season with a special Christmas party.
Guests, some in festive hats, sang along with Afrikaans singer and songwriter Gert van Tonder before enjoying some tasty treats.

Rest-a-While manager Trudy Carreira was thrilled with the turnout and thanked all the members and volunteers for a wonderful year.
The day was made possible with the help of sponsors CT Hydraulics, Yammin and Yammin Attorneys, Cherrywood Estates, Mamba’s Red Bin Brigade, Inner Wheel Bedfordview and Andrea and Michael Taljaard from Samaritans Christian Broadcasting Network.
“The centre’s executive committee, management and staff wish all our members and the community of Primrose a blessed festive season and a prosperous new year,” said Trudy.
She further thanked the community for their donations of groceries and toiletries which were used to build Christmas hampers for the elderly in need.
“Thank you to our main sponsor Talon Creative Equipment for their support,” said Trudy.
